Zhao Erhu escorted the three of them outside the backyard, and happened to see several ladies about to go out after admiring the flowers in the courtyard.
He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I have met several ladies."
Wang Yuyan nodded slightly.
"What happened to the two tiger protectors? My husband has gone to the villa at the moment and is not in the courtyard."
After Zhao Erhu quickly explained his intention, the women all looked at Li Qing'er.
Li Qing'er was stunned when she heard this, and said with a trembling voice: "My father arranged for someone to come? Where are they?"
Seeing this, Wang Yuyan stepped forward and patted Li Qing'er's hand to express relief, and then led A'Zhu Abi and Lian'er out of the door.
Wang Yuyan was also forcibly taken up the mountain at the beginning. As a woman, she understood Li Qing'er's feelings even if Li Qing'er behaved submissively.
Even if Zhang Dao always treated Li Qing'er with courtesy and did not force her, who would be willing to be tied up and marry a stranger?
Zhao Erhu escorted the three people to the entrance of the courtyard, and then led his men farther away, but did not untie the ropes for them.
Li Qing'er was also surprised when he saw several people, "Dayong! Why are you guys here?"
The leading man was Dayong. He was personally trained by the official Lai Fu, and his abilities were among the best in the Li family.
Seeing his young lady, Dayong quickly asked excitedly: "Miss, how are you doing now? Have you been wronged?"
Li Qing'er shook her head with a complicated expression, "I didn't suffer any grievance. On the contrary, the bandit leader treated me with courtesy."
Finally, he asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say that my father arranged to come here? Why are you still kidnapped?"
"The master is very worried about you and sent me here to find out the news. I just didn't expect that I just entered Qingyun Mountain..."
As Dayong spoke, he lowered his head in shame.
Li Qing'er's expression changed slightly. She had no news all night. How anxious must her father be? She whispered, "Is what Erhu said just now true?"
"Yes, miss, the bandit village owner said he could bring you a message or letter, and he also told that person not to allow inspection."
When Li Qing'er heard this, she unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth. Seeing that Dayong was still looking at her eagerly, she quickly regained her composure and said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that the bandit leader fell in love with my beauty. , just want to keep me in Qingyun Mountain."
"Ah?" Dayong looked at his young lady in shock when he heard this. Is this nothing?
Seeing Dayong's weird look, Li Qing'er said helplessly: "Who made me naturally beautiful? What can I do? But it's nothing. I have made some small plans, which gave the bandit leader a headache. I I won’t let the bandit leader succeed.”
"..." Dayong was speechless.
"Stop talking about this, please leave me alone. I'm fine. Come on, let me help you untie the rope first!" Li Qing'er said and asked Xiaoxiang to step forward and help Dayong untie the rope.
But he was rejected by Dayong. Dayong said sincerely: "No, miss, it's okay to tie it up for a while. If this makes the bandits in the village think of you, that would be bad."
Li Qing'er thought about it and realized that this was also the case. Although the bandit village owner abided by etiquette, it was because he was reasonable.
But he is still a bandit in essence, otherwise he would not have left himself on Qingyun Mountain. If I dare to resist or do anything else, others will use force.
"Then how is my father doing now?" Li Qing'er asked with concern.
"I'm fine, I'm just a little anxious," Dayong thought for a while, but still couldn't bear to say the words that made him so anxious that he couldn't fall asleep all night.
Li Qing'er nodded slightly and said to Dayong: "In this case, you go back and tell my father, tell him not to arrange for people to come to rescue me, and don't let the imperial court send troops to come. No matter how many people come, it will be in vain, just say that I It’s nice here.”
"Ah? But why is this?" Dayong asked puzzled.
Li Qing'er thought for a moment and then told Dayong the information he had gleaned from the people in the villa.
Finally, he said: "Although the mountain thief village owner is young, his abilities are unfathomable and cannot be resisted by ordinary people. He also has a geographical advantage in Qingyun Mountain. If he hadn't taken the initiative to let me go, I'm afraid no one could." Come and rescue me."
This said, in addition to knowing that Qingyun Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack and Zhang Dao's unpredictable methods, perhaps she also has some ideas of her own.
When Dayong heard this, he was a little stunned. He could suppress thousands of troops with one palm. Isn't this a god?
Just listen to Li Qing'er continue: "When you go back, tell my father that your daughter is unfilial and ask him to take care of himself at this time. I will go back to serve his old man when I find a way to get down from the mountain."
Then he asked Xiaoxiang to go to the house to get the letter she had written earlier. It was written by Zhang Dao at breakfast after he arranged for someone to send her a letter home. However, he did not expect that the person who sent her a letter home was actually him. Servant.
After Xiaoxiang turned around and left, Li Qing'er looked at the place outside Qingyun Mountain with complicated eyes. At this moment, she thought of her father who was still waiting anxiously in the inn and was worried about her. She wanted to go back with Dayong and others right away. .
But she knew she couldn't run away now, not to mention whether she could run away in the first place.
Once he runs away, Xiaoxiang and Dayong and others in front of him will most likely not survive.
Moreover, the station where dad and the others are located is only half a day's journey from Qingyun Mountain. Once the bandits become angry, the consequences will be disastrous.
After dinner today, when she listened to the chatter of the patrolling guards outside the courtyard, they said that this morning, one of the captured officers and soldiers had a deputy general who refused to work and was beaten to death by Li Erniu with a whip.
This shocked her even more. She knew that Li Erniu was a big stupid guy. He looked naive and stupid, and his brain seemed to be a little unclear.
But she didn't expect such a simple and honest guy to be so ruthless, which made her feel lucky that she followed the stupid guy's wishes and went up the mountain.
Otherwise, I am afraid that I will either be tied to the bed of the bandit village owner and cry in sadness, or I will not know where the body is.
The more this happened, the more terrifying Li Qing'er felt in Qingyun Mountain, and the more she wanted to escape from this place filled with tigers, leopards, and wolves.
No matter how handsome the bandit leader is, no matter how kind he is to his wife, no matter how powerful he is, all of that has nothing to do with him. After all, this is not my home.
Not long after, Xiaoxiang came back with a letter.
After Li Qing'er took the letter, she turned around to hand it to Dayong, but after thinking about it, she suddenly reached out and tore up the letter.
"Ah?" Dayong exclaimed.
Xiaoxiang looked at Li Qing'er in confusion, "Miss, why is this?"
Li Qing'er forced a smile and said to Xiaoxiang: "There is no need for this letter. Just ask Dayong to take a few words back to my father."
Then he said to Dayong: "You go back and tell my father that the bandit owner treated me very politely in order to please me. Please rest assured that I will take care of myself."
Li Qing'er herself didn't believe what she said, because she knew that Zhang Dao's wives were all stunningly beautiful, and that such beauties were all attracted to a bandit. This was also the first time she had seen them.
So, do people really care about me?
Furthermore, she could also see that the bandit leader just wanted to amuse her to relieve her boredom.
Whatever others really want, I am powerless to resist.
But she didn't want to worry her father by saying this.
Then he said: "When the right opportunity comes, I will find a way to go down the mountain."
Dayong didn't understand what his lady meant, but he still nodded in agreement.
Not long after, Zhao Erhu brought people and took Dayong and others away.
Xiaoxiang looked at the backs of a group of people leaving, and asked Li Qing'er with some confusion: "Why doesn't Miss let you send the letter to the master?"
Li Qing'er shook his head slightly and did not explain.
In fact, in her letter, in addition to explaining her situation and asking her father to reassure her, she also described the general terrain of Qingyun Mountain in secret words that only her father and she knew.
This was what she ran for more than an hour after Zhang Dao left early this morning to investigate. Because of her identity as the owner and wife of the village, no one stopped her, but she was not allowed to go down the mountain from Qingyun Mountain.
Her original intention was to ask her father to lead people to rescue her according to the terrain map of Qingyun Mountain, and even asked the court to send a large army to encircle and suppress her.
Now, before Dayong and the others went up the mountain, they were tied up and brought to them halfway.
Li Qing'er knew that this was Zhang Dao, the bandit leader, warning him,
